so cliché

I went out for lunch and it ended up becoming dinner as we talked and stay there longer than we should. Richard was really fun and I felt free with him, it felt like we have known each other for years, we talked about the past and how we want how present to be. He was really interested in me like he wanted to know everything I had to offer and it was so nice.

" ooh shit it already 9:00pm"

"Oh my God did we talk that long"

" Sophia I need to take you back home before your parents feel you were adopted"

I laughed why will he think like that. My parents worry less of where I am. But it was really late and it was time to call it a day

" ooh ok then"

I packed my bag and wore my jacket, Richard paid for our meal. We made our way to the front of the restaurant, I sited someone that looks like Ralph with another girl, I decided to ignore maybe my mind was just playing tricks on me. We stop a taxi and the taxi stops at my house first. I came down and Richard hug and left with the taxi.

Today was really great and I was so happy that Richard came around.

*****

My first day working, it wa still hard to believe that my parents allowed me to work. It was great. Mum help me out with my outfit according to her she didn't trust my judgement when it comes to girl stuff that is make up and picking an outfit. That morning we spent it arguing if a office pant or skirt will go better on me, at the end of the day mum allowed me to wear the pant I wanted to wear.

I decided to take a taxi to work so I can blend in like other staff, but I guess I was wrong when I got to the office I saw cars that I was surprised that my parents staff drove. It looks like the staff here were paid well. I made my way to the finance department. I knock and the door open up the people in the office seem to be surprised to see me. A man came and introduced me to them

"Good morning men, this is miss Sophia Elison, the new employee in the finance department"

" ooh when The CEO said a new employee I was expecting more of a man"

" Mr saun, general discrimination isn't permitted there"

" my sincere apologies miss Elison, I get a different touch her won't hurt"

" that is much better miss Elison have a nice time you will enjoy working with Mr. Saun"

" I hope so" I said under my breath

Mr. Saun left the room with the other man, it looks like people here didn't know me, they only know that my parents have a child but funny enough they don't know the gender or name. I could hear Mr. Saun asking the other man if I was the Elison child I was so grateful he didn't say yes. I don't want any special attention I wanted to work my way to the top with no help. Mr. Saun came back to the room

"So Miss. Elison, do you mind introducing yourself"

"My name is Sophia Elison, I am...

"So how did you get the job"

"Well I am here on internship"

" you are a college student"

" yes sir"

" which school"

"Kings college university"

" are you related to the CEO Mr. Elison"

" no "

" but you guys are having the same last name"

" well that happened to just happened"

" Saun enough with the question, my name is Mr. Samuel, this is Mr. Dave, and as you know this is Mr. Saun we are in charge of the finance of the Elison company so that in years to come the company doesn't run to his foot. You are welcome here"

" Thank you sir"

" don't worry about the rest of the men they will warm up to you , they are not use to have a lady in this company"

" ooh ok sir"

Mr. Dave directly me to Mr desk and the next moment Mr. Saun drop a bundle of paper work

" this should keep you busy"

The office seem to be busy as different part of the Elison company came in to drop their budget for the things they need to get done.

They took a launch break but I wasn't permitted to do so because I haven't finished my work. I guess working here wasn't easy. I ate my food in the office and continue the work. Working here deals with lot of reading as you have to read all the terms and conditions before spamming the Elison signature. I was surprised that the Elison signature was some letter from my name and my middle name spelt backwards.

When I was done with the paper work I ask Mr. Saun if I could go for break but he refused according to him break time has passed and there is still more work to do. He added more work to my table that was when Mr. Samuel came

"Saun it is ok, let the girl take a break"

" but she is not done"

" do you want her to break down, let her take a break"

" ok then, Sophia you can go"

" thank you Mr. Samuel, thank you Mr. Saun"

I pack my bag and made my way to the resting lounge, my hand needed cold water to warm it.

After my break I went back to the office that was when Mr. Saun inform me that will be working extra hours

" sir, I am sorry but I can't work extra hours"

" do you want to be fired'

" saun why do you want her to work extra hours, the Elison fashion line isn't receiving any night delivery" Mr. Dave said

" I know, she just needs to so she can get use to working here"

" Saun I don't know what is wrong with you but you need to give Miss. Elison space to breath"

"Saun is right, let her work the extra hours only for today"

" I will work the extra hours" I said as I went back to my sit. The rest of them went to the inner room to discuss. It is pretty obvious this saun of a guy was sent to make to my life miserable.

When everybody left for their various homes I received a call from Richard

" hey dear"

" hey, what up"

" I am doing well, and you"

"Stress out"

"What happened"

" I got a job at my parents company, and ..."

"That seems fun right "

" well I thought it was going to be fun, but my boss is frustrating my life"

" does he know that you are indirectly the owner of the company"

" no he doesn't know and I don't want him to know to avoid special attention"

" ooh I get you, are you done now so we can have dinner"

"I am too tired to eat"

" I got a reservation at Mac Donald"

" ooh ok I am in"

" I will come and pick you up in the next 10 minutes"
